My Own Moleskines! Just like what I confessed to Sir Ralph of Comatoria , I don't think I can summon the nerve to write on these precious moleskines. I have bad handwriting and I make erasures like mad! But I can't just have it laying around unused, too, as it defeats the purpose of having a moleskine. Maybe I'll use 1 moleskine notebook so I can practice writing poetry? Hmmmmm! * scratches imaginary beard* Life of Pi (Deluxe Hardbound, Illustrated) -Yann Martel Once again, thank you TopazHorizon and Avalon.Ph ! In other news, I promised myself not to buy new books, but I couldn't help it. I went to Booksale NCCC before going to Chi's CineAste film screening at StreetCafe, Jacinto (I watched "Cabaret" 1975, before I had to run out because my sister sounded very urgent with her texts-- which turned out to be a fake emergency! Arrgh! I missed the 2nd half of the movie!) Anyway, here are my finds weee: Just Jane: A Novel of Jane Austen's Life - Nancy Mo...

“Pretty is something you're born with. But beautiful, that's an equal opportunity adjective.” -Anonymous I ordered a trial pack of Strip it from Arlette and I just finished using it :D I can't believe how well the product works! I'm a first time user of cold wax, and I never imagined it would be as effective as warm wax! I am used to just going to a salon to get the whole thing done. Some salon waxing services include P150 for underarm, P250 for the forearms, and P500 for the entire leg and etc... Well, a bit of waxing is probably the only vanity I indulge in even before. I tried doing the DIY Home sugaring myself, but more often than not I scald myself that I cry and yelp in pain. No matter what I do, I end up having irritated arms due to the hot wax. I discovered STRIP IT and decided to order it 2 days ago, and today the package came in via Air21: Trial Pack arrived! P160 for the Trial pack, added P15 for extra strip cloths (I knew I was gonna need it), and P106 for ...

My first tag ever from Joanna <3 Five Things that Make Me Happy 1. Books The acquisition, and the reading of books makes me infinitely happy on so many levels. I feel so giddy at the mere thought of scouring book stores and book sales. I feel a jolt of devious pleasure when I buy books for so much less than their value, as it feels like I've just un earthed a diamond in the rough that's overlooked by everyone. I am at my happiest when I'm reading . I am always very eager to read about adventures, complex stories on seemingly mundane things, romances in classic novels, other culture, sub cultures, and so much more. 2. Being with Family / Friends Even if the whole world turns on me, I feel like I can always find support in my family and those I consider my true friends . My family may not be the most perfect, but really, who has a perfect family nowadays? But they are always there to back me up and protect me, and those I consider my true friends accept me for who I am...

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want—an adorable pancreas? - Jean Kerr I am super in love with this BB Cream! I believe I've found my perfect brand! Look and see the huge difference my face went through with just a tiny sample pack. USING NORMAL ROOM LIGHTING: Problem Skin: Bumpy, generally non-smooth, huge pores, off-tone Applied a dash of Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream (comes in one shade only), and spread all over the face Instantly my skin becomes even, lesser apparent pores, smooth-looking and smooth-feeling, gives off a non-cakey look, which is important in a bb cream, and has a very natural, dewy finish! Added a teeny tiny bit of loose face powder to lessen the shine (My face is oily), and took the photo under bright morning lights near my window! Oh my gosh, I look kind of pretty already HAHAHA!
